    That is a real shame. Will never forget his first podium at Bathurst in '05. Never seen a guy so happy to finish 2nd. RIP mate.

    This is terrible news, he always came across as an all round nice guy. Such a terrible loss to the Motorsport/V8 Supercars community. RIP JR.

    Very sad news.
    Saw him interviewed a couple of months ago when he was at one of the v8supercar races in the pit.
    He pretty much told the interviewer that he pretty much had no chance.
